Motorcycle Camping

As I unpacked from a long weekend of riding and camping. I took the time to take a picture of everything. It took me years to get to this camping configuration. I feel I finally have the right bike for it. I don't cook when I camp, so there is no cooking gear in this mix.

Camping Set Up

Strapped to the outside of the bike are my LL Bean rocker Camp chair , a collapsible cooler with water and Teva sandals.In the right bag: sleeping bag, tent, poles, mattress pad, tool roll, jumper cables,towel, snacks, and rain pants.

Hello, I’m Gail Hatch and I am, amongst other things, a motorcyclist. My home roads are in New Hampshire

I started this blog in 2007 when my then 12-year-old daughter and I toured the country on my ’87 BMW K75. That was 10 years and many miles ago. She’s graduated college and starting her own life. I remarried, bought a house and think a lot about what the road ahead. I haven’t added anything to my blog in a while. But I leave it here for people to stumble upon. I hope the stories encourage the reader to take an adventure they might not have considered.
